    Corsair h115i - Tube Bend

    Hey guys I don't normally post here but something has been bothering me since i install my new H115i in my 900D
    I have installed all AIO coolers with the raditor pipes in the left side of the case, is this is bad thing ? does it put pressure on the pipes etc.
    I'm just a bit worried if I should swap it around to the right side.

    I don't really know about the tubes Corsair uses so it's really hard to say. Though if the tubes do create a lot tension then yes, it might be a good idea to install it in a way that doesn't do that. But if the tubes still feel slack, then I'd say there nothing to worry about.

    I certainly have harder bends in my setup, but it is a custom loop.

    Nothing wrong with those bends, those tubes are made for far more bends than that. I would worry more about the pump giving out sooner than the tubes leaking

    The way it is on that picture is perfectly fine... nothing wrong with that.
    It's only pressure that kinks the cable or puts so much pressure on it it feels like the plastic would snap in half.

    The way it's connected right now is not even enough force or pressure to even remotely consider it, I'm talking shit stupid pressure here like using a crowbar to wedge open a door.

    Hey guys thank you for the quick replies,

    I just get bit nervous about these things, I did switch it the other way around but to be honest it looked aesthetically "bad".

    I have now put it back to the way you so in my first picture so it now looks like this - http://i.imgur.com/e27tVwQ.jpg

    You think it looks ok .... sorry to be annoying.

    lol when you said bends i assumed some kind of 90 degree extreme stuff, not just a pipe sitting in a case chillin' :P

    edit: aww mine are too hidden to picture without effort. but yeah lol yours are just fine.
